We finally meet our protagonist, Alucard, as we play through the first section of the main game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

Alucard tears his way through some minions and confronts Death itself as he ventures forth into Dracula's Castle! His items are stripped from him and he must begin with nothing, Death taunting him as he goes.

We discuss this first section, as well as speculate as to the nature of Dracula's Castle. We also dig into Alucard, the man-vampire himself, in the lore corner! Is he a true hero, or does he have some skeletons in his closet?

Then Sam gives us his thoughts on the new Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter: Rise for the Nintendo Switch!

And lastly, we chuckle about the glowing, suspicious reviews that Balan Wonderworld is receiving!

All this AND MORE in "Dracula Lives in Hogwarts!"
